Prop. 33: Insurance discount measure stirs controversy | insurance ...

For a decade now, Mercury Insurance founder George Joseph has been trying to get one big change made to California's landmark insurance law: a discount for customers who switch auto insurance carriers.

Gov. Gray Davis vetoed a Mercury-backed bill in 2002. The voters rejected Mercury-backed Proposition 17 in June 2010 by 4 percentage points.

Now Joseph has returned with Proposition 33, which would allow discounts for people who switch carriers without a lapse in coverage in the previous five years.

Funded almost entirely by Joseph, who has put up $16.4 million so far, the initiative's supporters say it would be a boon to consumers. They would enjoy lower rates and brisker competition.

Consumer groups opposing Prop. 33 say it would lead to higher premiums for some consumers. The initiative would be particularly bad for new drivers and those just returning to the auto insurance market after years away.

Carmen Balber of Consumer Watchdog, a leading opponent, said that in states such as Florida where such discounts are legal, surcharges on drivers who don't qualify reach as high as 103 percent. She conceded surcharges could not go that high in California because of state regulations, but suggested they could hit 40 percent for new drivers.

"Scare-mongering," answers Terry McHale, a spokesman for the Yes on 33 campaign. It can't happen here, and, in fact, it did not happen when insurers offered discounts to carrier-switchers between 1996 and 2002.

"Between '96 and 2002, we did not see these surcharges," McHale said. "We saw prices drop in the state of California."

In a 2002 report, the insurance commissioner concluded that the discounts did lead to surcharges against some customers. If one group paid less for insurance, another group had to pay more because they were sharing losses, and the losses did not change.

And, the report warned, the surcharges could drive up the number of uninsured motorists ? ultimately costing insured drivers more money.

The reason, according to the report, is that the surcharges would tend to hit hardest those who "can least afford to pay for insurance or who already have high premiums caused by other rating factors. This discourages them from buying insurance, which may add to the number of uninsured motorists and ultimately drives up the cost of the uninsured motorist coverage for every insured."

Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones has not taken a position on the initiative. Department officials said that if the measure passes, insurers would have to justify changes to their rates.

Prop. 33 supporters have won over some opponents of Prop. 17 by making it easier to qualify for the discount despite a lapse in coverage. For example, while Prop. 17 excused a lapse in coverage for those in the military who were deployed overseas, Prop. 33 excuses anyone who was active in the military.

It also allows for a lapse in coverage for as long as 18 months in the previous five years because of a loss of employment from a layoff or furlough. Prop. 17 allowed a 90-day lapse.

Mercury is the fifth-largest seller of auto insurance in California behind State Farm, the Southern and Northern California branches of the Automobile Club and Allstate. The other major insurers are all sitting out this campaign.

Explaining market leader State Farm's neutrality, spokesman Eddie Martinez said, "We believe in our own loyalty discount program, which provides our customers with an incentive to continuously maintain coverage."

The opposition is badly outgunned. So far the No on 33 campaign has raised about $95,000, mostly from consumer groups.

Greenhouse gas emissions mapped to building, street level for U.S. cities

ScienceDaily (Oct. 9, 2012) ? Arizona State University researchers have developed a new software system capable of estimating greenhouse gas emissions across entire urban landscapes, all the way down to roads and individual buildings. Until now, scientists quantified carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at a much broader level.

Dubbed "Hestia" after the Greek goddess of the hearth and home, researchers presented the new system in an article published Oct. 9 in Environmental Science and Technology. Hestia combines extensive public database "data-mining" with traffic simulation and building-by-building energy-consumption modeling. Its high-resolution maps clearly identify CO2 emission sources in a way that policymakers can utilize and the public can understand.

"Cities have had little information with which to guide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions -- and you can't reduce what you can't measure," said Kevin Gurney, an associate professor in ASU's School of Life Sciences, and senior scientist with the Global Institute of Sustainability. "With Hestia, we can provide cities with a complete, three-dimensional picture of where, when and how carbon dioxide emissions are occurring."

The research team collected data from a wide variety of sources such as local air pollution reports, traffic counts, and tax assessor parcel information. The data is then combined within a modeling system for quantifying CO2 emissions at the level of individual buildings and street segments.

So far, scientists have applied Hestia to the city of Indianapolis, and work is ongoing for the cities of Los Angeles and Phoenix. They hope to ultimately map the CO2 emissions in all major cities across the United States, which accounts for nearly one-quarter of all global CO2 emissions. The Hestia research team believes this type of detailed emissions information will help determine what we as a society can do locally and globally about climate change.

"As a community, we must take a leadership role in sustaining our relationship with the environment," said ASU President Michael M. Crow. "This research, and its implications for global engagement regarding climate change, is an exciting step forward. Hestia gives us the next tool we need to help policymakers create effective greenhouse gas legislation."

"These results may also help overcome current barriers to the United States joining an international climate change treaty," agreed Gurney, Hestia's lead scientist. "Many countries are unwilling to sign a treaty when greenhouse gas emission reductions cannot be independently verified."

According to researchers, Hestia's increased detail and accuracy will help cities, and possibly even other nations, identify where an investment in energy and greenhouse gas savings would have the greatest impact.

"Leading in sustainability is not easy; however, as mayor, I am committed to doing so," Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton said. "Undoubtedly, Hestia will be a good tool to help us make more informed decisions as leaders in Phoenix and the Valley around issues of air quality, health and a sustainable future."

Although climate change presents society with tough challenges, Gurney believes this new system enables concrete, positive steps towards mitigating the problem.

"Hestia offers practical information we can use to identify the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions and track progress over time," Gurney said. "Scientists have spent decades describing the seriousness of climate change. Now, we are offering practical information to help do something about it."

Purdue Showalter Trust, Knauf Insulation, and the National Institute for Standards and Technology funded the three-year Hestia project, which involved researchers Bedrich Benes and Michael Abdul-Massih from Purdue University's Department of Computer Graphics and Technology.

Hestia is part of a larger effort that combines information about emissions with ground and satellite-based measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. It is now part of the INFLUX experiment in Indianapolis and is expected to complement NASA's planned December 2013 launch of the Orbital Carbon Observatory satellite, which will measure the concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere.

David Cameron tells country more pain to come

BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron warned voters to brace for "painful decisions" on the economy on Wednesday but offered little new to alter a grim growth outlook which has derailed his efforts to cut the budget deficit.

In a speech to his Conservative party conference, Cameron admitted it was taking longer than planned to fix Britain's recession-hit economy and rein in public finances.

Cameron, insisting his coalition government would not waver from its austerity plan to erase the budget deficit, said failing to get on top of Britain's economic problems would leave it limping along a path to long-term decline.

The Conservatives, in coalition with the smaller Lib Dems, have fallen behind a resurgent opposition Labour in opinion polls. Analysts say Cameron faces an uphill slog to win an outright majority in the 2015 election.

The International Monetary Fund slashed its growth forecasts for Britain on Monday, casting a shadow over the Conservatives' annual conference where Cameron hoped to rally his party and convince voters his economic plans were the only way forward.

"Here's the truth," Cameron told an overflowing hall of Conservatives in the English city of Birmingham. "The damage was worse than we thought, and it's taking longer than we hoped."

"The world economy, especially in the euro zone, has been much weaker than expected in the past two years. When some of our big trading partners like Ireland, Spain and Italy are suffering, they buy less from us. That hurts our growth and makes it harder to pay off our debts."

Most economists expect the government to announce lower growth forecasts in December, which could play havoc with Cameron's deficit reduction plan and potentially force him to stretch out spending cuts well beyond the 2015 election.

Credit ratings agencies have given triple-A rated Britain the benefit of the doubt so far, largely because the government has stuck with strong rhetoric on its determination to cut the deficit, even as it has missed its targets.

"Unless we act, unless we take difficult, painful decisions, unless we show determination and imagination, Britain may not be in the future what it has been in the past," Cameron warned.

"Because the truth is this: we are in a global race today and that means an hour of reckoning for countries like ours. Sink or swim. Do or decline."

MID-TERM BLUES

It has been a difficult year for Cameron, with critics in his party raising questions about his style of leadership and whether he has what it takes to win full control of Britain's parliament - something he failed to achieve in 2010.

A return to recession, missed austerity targets, speculation of a leadership coup, infighting over Europe and a scandal over his relationship with Rupert Murdoch's powerful media empire have all contributed to a severe case of mid-term blues.

Aides to the leadership admit the party is running out of road to turn things around before the 2015 election which is likely to decided on the state of the economy and which party is most trusted to fix Britain's deficit.

Labour leader Ed Miliband's surprise evolution into a more credible opponent has given Cameron - who has struggled to compete for attention this week with the party's effusive and popular London Mayor Boris Johnson - another headache.

Cameron took Labour's argument, for a softer pace of austerity to give the economy room to breathe, head on.

"The old powers are on the slide. What do the countries on the rise have in common? They are lean, fit, obsessed with enterprise, spending money on the future - on education, incredible infrastructure and technology," he said.

"And what do the countries on the slide have in common? They're fat, sclerotic, over-regulated, spending money on unaffordable welfare systems, huge pension bills, unreformed public services."

Aware of criticism the Conservative leader has struggled to communicate what he, and his government stands for, Cameron delved into his personal life - and the story of his late, disabled father - to explain his ideology.

"Work hard. Family comes first. But put back in to the community too," he said.

The Conservatives have spent this week warning voters to expect cuts across the board after 2015, drawing a dividing line with Labour by arguing for ambitious reductions in welfare - an area often portrayed as rife with scroungers and waste.

Labour and the Lib Dems want to see the wealthy do more to help Britain get on top of its deficit, currently running at about eight percent of national output.

"I'm not here to defend privilege, I'm here to spread it," the expensively-educated prime minister said.

Cameron sought to pacify a restive Conservative right wing on Britain's relationship with the European Union, an issue that has contributed to the downfall of the previous two Conservative premiers - John Major and Margaret Thatcher.

Promising a referendum on any new EU treaty that follows efforts to solve the euro zone debt crisis, Cameron has promised this week to use Britain's veto for a second time if EU leaders pushed for too big an increase in its budget.

Some Conservatives want an in/out EU referendum and for Britain to negotiate a new trade deal with Europe - its biggest trading partner. Cameron argues that Britain should stay part of the EU but has promised to claw back powers from Brussels.

SAfrica: Union accuses platinum producer of racism

JOHANNESBURG (AP) ? The National Union of Mineworkers accused Anglo American Platinum Monday of "racism" as the impasse between striking miners and the world's top platinum producer escalated.

The NUM alleged that its leader in Rustenburg, the scene of a wildcat strike that brought Amplats' operations to a halt, was called derogatory names by the company's security officials at its Swartklip Union mine in Limpopo province. The official was racially abused Monday together with a journalist for the South African Broadcasting Corporation, the union charged in a statement.

The union's attempts to intercede on behalf of miners fired last week by Amplats had been thwarted, said NUM spokesman Lesiba Seshoka.

"It has become very clear that the company promotes racism through procuring security and other services from racists and their companies and that it has no intention to empower African people," Seshoka said. "The company has a week ago embarked on mass dismissals and was in the process of doing the same at Swartklip when the NUM leaders sought to intervene and speak to members only to be met with imported racism of a special type."

Mpumi Sithole, a spokeswoman for Amplats, declined to comment on this matter.

Amplats, a subsidiary of the London-listed Anglo Platinum, last week dismissed 12,000 striking miners for staging a wildcat strike and later failing to attend disciplinary hearings. The mineworkers have since threatened to make the mines ungovernable, saying it will be impossible for the company to hire new workers.

The miners are determined to fight for their jobs, said strike leader Evans Ramokga Monday.

About 80,000 miners, or 16 percent of South Africa's total mine workforce, are currently on strike across South Africa in work stoppages that have serious economic implications for South Africa. The labor unrest is damaging the country's reputation as an investment destination, say economists. South Africa produces 75 percent of the world's platinum and is the No. 4 chrome producer and the fifth-biggest gold producer.

There seems to be no end in sight to the turmoil, which originated in the platinum sector and has since spread to gold, coal and iron ore mines as well as to the road freight sector. Some 20,000 truckers demanding a 22 percent pay raise are currently staging a strike that threatens the supply of gas and groceries. The striking truckers now say they might intensify their campaign by inviting rail and port workers if employers do not meet their wage demands.

Hands-on with the Sprint LG Optimus G

Sprint LG Optimus G.

The Sprint Optimus G in a nutshell: It's an LG Optimus G. On Sprint.

That's really about it. Sprint's iteration of LG's newest flagship is pretty much what we saw in the international version. It's got the same 4.7-inch WXGA IPS display (that's a lot of letters for "good"), same Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 pro quad-core processor. Same 13-megapixel camera that sticks out ever so slightly. Same cool "crystal reflection design" under the don't-call-it-glass backing.

And, yes, same non-removable battery, and no microSD card. (You do have 32GB of on-board storage, with a good chunk of that already used by the operating system.)

Otherwise, no real surprises here. LG's customizations are all intact. Sprint's apps are all tucked away in SprintZone, the way we like them.

Now all we need is some availability and pricing information. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.)

We've got a few more pics and video after the break.

Bluetooth Low Energy ? What is it?

Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth 4.0, BLE, Bluetooth SMART) has made its way into the latest smart phones including the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, and many Android devices. These devices that include BLE sensors have an increased transmission range (up to 160 feet) and last much longer than Bluetooth Classic, due to the low energy profile. These sensors connect faster, are easier to pair and have increased battery life when compared to Bluetooth Classic accessories.

Health and Fitness Sensors ? Turning Smartphones into Specialized Computers

Bluetooth SMART represents the future for connecting you and your phone to a multitude of health and fitness sensors that monitor your workout performance. Bluetooth Wireless Heart Rate Chest Straps can monitor your heart rate while Cadence and Speed Sensors monitor pedaling speed and overall MPH. Combining numerous sensors turns your Smartphones into a specialized bike computer. The integrated music player on Smartphones also let?s you listen to music while you workout ? a major advantage above other solitary sensors. Runners can also utilize foot pods to gather stride data, power data, and more. Your Smartphone has become a centralized location for gathering and keeping track of all essential workout data!

Health Tracking and Preventative Care Sensors

Diabetics will soon be able to track their blood sugar through BLE glucose monitors and check blood pressure via BLE Blood Pressure Sensors. Expect to see BLE weight scales and more health tracking sensors that focus on preventative care by regularly monitoring your body?s vitals. Daily monitoring of these statistics can help to give you immediate alerts when your body is at risk or in danger ? while providing you with suggestions on how to improve your health (eat more sugar, decrease sodium intake, etc.). This could be a major lifestyle influence and help prevent many adverse health conditions.

Centralized Data

Because Smartphones can connect to the Internet and transmit fitness and health data to a centralized cloud location, you can post your exercise times and data to Facebook or Twitter, or email your data to your physician. The Scosche RHYTHM Dashboard (works with an Armband Pulse Monitor, Heart Rate Chest Strap and Speed/Cadence Sensor) does just that. From the RHYTHM Dashboard (fit.scosche.com), workout data is now stored in a centralized location for reviewing, analyzing and sharing. Previously the act of sharing workout data was tedious and time consuming. BLE sensors paired with Smartphones help to make the interaction between people more fluid.

In the near future, BLE sensors will enhance the daily workout bringing Smartphones to whole new level. With their increased range, addition of functional devices, longer battery life, and quicker connection speeds we will start to wonder what we did before we had these amazing devices in our lives.

International business news magazine, The Economist, reports that ...

President Ernest Bai Koroma ? The Economist says he is favourite to win in November

World renowned and top international business magazine, The Economist , has?reported?in its?Oct. 5th 2012 edition, that the incumbent in the coming November 2012 vote in Sierra Leone, President Ernest Bai Koroma, is?the?favourite to win?the?elections against all odds. In an article presumably written by Simon Akam, but bearing no author tag as usual when Akam is up to his mischief, the magazine highlighted the recent misleading reports by Africa Confidential and Al-Jazeera, about alleged corruption involving the country?s Vice President, but conceded that President Ernest Bai Koroma is indeed the favourite to win the all important November elections.

The Economist also went on to predict, as Newstime Africa recently revealed, that VP Sam Sumana is indeed the natural successor to President Ernest Bai Koroma when his two-term presidency concludes in 2017. In the report, there was no mention of the SLPP?Opposition?presidential candidate Julius Maada Bio?s chances of having any impact on the elections. It seems?the?International media has resigned from?the?prospect of looking forward to a regime change in?the?coming?elections despite hounding the current leadership with weekly barrage of scandal-based accusations of corruption at?the?heart of government.

Akam, who writes for Reuters, and whose reports are?disseminated?across?most?international?media houses, has in the past been accused of?colluding?with?diplomats?and rogue?opposition?elements to file misleading reports about the political and economic situation in the country. The reports mentioned by the Economist that appeared in both Al-Jazeera and Africa Confidential, all seem to have the footprints of Simon Akam. The British born Journalist has been accused of engaging in a personal vendetta, at the inspiration of others, to dish out garbage about the country?s leadership to the international media. But, The Economist?s revelation that it is indeed president Ernest Bai Koroma who is the favourite to win in November, soundly exposes the final acceptance by the international press that the opposition SLPP presidential candidate, Julius Maada Bio does not have the credibility to stand up to the character and?reputation?the incumbent Koroma has managed to build for himself in his first term as president of the republic of Sierra Leone.

How To Maximize The Potential Of Internet Marketing | Christopher ...

There is a chance that one?s business can skyrocket into a world of fame and fortune, but it is more likely for a business to remain small. Unfortunately, the vast majority will vanish. It is hard to keep a brick-and-mortar business going, and this is also true about online businesses. Read the following article for some great information on how you can avoid becoming the next business failure.

Make sure you use offer customers a guarantee, it is a surefire way to increase your success. The word ?guaranteed? implies that you stand behind your products, and this inspires confidence in new customers. They are more comfortable spending their hard-earned money when a money-back guarantee is in place.

TIP! Good advertising is the key to growing your business fast. It is worth the money in the long run because advertising your business will play a huge role in how much business you receive.

Most often you will be advised not to mix business with your home life, but this may qualify as an exception. This is because there isn?t pressure, so it is a type of profit based hobby. Get your spouse involved and make it a team effort!

What is your goal? Keep it in the front of your mind and stick with it. Figure out which kind of articles you want to write and for which article directory. Find out the requirements for the particular directories you prefer. Remember this before you submit any content so you avoid wasting time getting rejections.

Get your name noticed by advertising on websites that receive heavy traffic. This can really help get your name out there and is worth the initial investment in the long run. Look for a site that gets lots of traffic, and this can help you get your name out there.

Keeping an eye on your competition is an important part of internet marketing. Competition is a constant issue, regardless of niche.

The whole reason for using Internet marketing is to get your business known by promoting it on the Internet; your campaign should lead to more opportunities. It sounds somewhat counter-intuitive, but the purpose of your strategy should be to start a cycle. You want an endless cycle of people using search engines, finding your website, and then purchasing your products.

Provide customers with a time-sensitive incentive to place an order. Perhaps you could offer free shipping for a certain number of customers, or you could include complimentary gift-wrapping for those who order by a certain date. Special offers and incentives should have a definite end date.

TIP! Consider the type of structure and information that people will look for when they come to your website. If you are able to provide them with what they want, you will make more sales and move more product.

One very helpful tool is a 500 error page that is user-friendly. This will make your visitors know of any problems with your site. You do not want to let users see a generic page that just says the connection was timed out. Instead, inform your visitors that you are working on a fix to their problem using a more creative webpage message that fits the format of your site.

Offer at least one free service for your customers. Many will visit for the free offer. Some will stick around your site! Some of the things that you can do on a monetary website include offering a free return or a financial calculator.

Giving customers the opportunity to sign up for your Ezine is a highly effective online marketing technique, especially if you know how to create an Ezine that helps you build a relationship with your subscribers. You can experiment with adding photographs of your staff, customers, or even family. Make it an interesting read as well by using humor or stories about your dealings with your employees and family. Catch your customers? attention with the use of a creative subject line in your Ezine.

If another business fails, it may just clear the way for your success. The marketing tips listed here will lead to your online success.

Living Peaceful, Abundant, Healthy Lifestyles: Web Sites: the great ...

Web sites are the great equalizer. A site can make a small company look global and professional. Conversely, a site can also make a global company hard to find and hard to navigate. Over the years I have found that all sites fall into one of two categories: hobby or business. You?d be surprised at the businesses who run their web sites like a hobby. But, on the other hand, you?d be amazed at those upstart and ?home based? efforts that have first class business sites.

Here are the characteristics I have arrived at over the last ten years working with all types of businesses - large and small.

Hobby Site

  • created by business owner or may have paid some one to create it for them
  • goal is to sell products or services online

Business Site

  • all the qualities of a Hobby Site
  • have system in place and working it consistently to establish a beneficial web
    reputation
  • doing consistent effort to expand web presence with search engine marketing
  • tangible intention(s) of being successful in the online market place

Those characteristics may sound simple for the business endeavors but they are the sweat equity that separate the winners from the losers - those making money online and those wondering why.

By the way, let?s look at sweat equity since it is a proven fact on business site success. The Google update last April, Penguin, wiped out all the ?get noticed quick? schemes for wanna be business site owners. In other words, Google now disregards any traffic from ?pay for click? sites. If you are paying for ?clicks? you might as well be throwing your money down the drain because that type of effort wont bring you more visibility in the search engines.

That Google update brought the web back to a level playing field. Today, one of the? most highly regarded? assets your web site can own are organic links: relevant links from reputable sites.? This won?t happen overnight like buying click traffic will. Building a network of organic links takes time, months, but the dividends cannot be beat because they are permanent quality real estate.

This is what distinguishes a business web site, they are willing to make the investment to build that web reputation and expand their presence in the search engines using sweat equity. Can they do it on their own? Sure.

Make no mistake, like everything else, there are skills to be acquired to establish that reputation and presence. The learning curve can be steep in the fluid world of technology. There are not a lot, if any, books out there that spell out the ABC?s of the necessary skills. Indeed, you need to be technology oriented to be successful in overcoming the hurdles.

The key question I ask myself and potential clients is this, ?What is your passion?? I see and meet many people who take on building and managing web sites who don?t have the passion in their heart, which means that are limited to expressing a hobby web site but most of the time won?t admit it. Isn?t that the case with all of life? Sure I can go purchase a battery and install it in my car but I won?t enjoy doing it. And, since I have no joy about working on cars, there may well be something I miss entirely or even screw up in the process of that battery change. My point is, may you have the faith to live your passion.

Hey, it is not my problem and not my issue to educate folks about their joys and passion. I want to work with people who want to grow and expand. You do your thing and I will do my thing to help you get yours accomplished using technology.

Be honest with your self. Live your passion. Walk your dream.? May your journey be filled with abundance and well being.
